The Animagus Champion
A/N
This is my first fanfic, I hope you enjoy it. It is a spin-off of dragen's Animagus Mishap. I did this for two reasons. (A) he stopped updating, (B) It is not suitable for children. While I like to consider myself a grammar nazi, I am not perfect in that aspect, I will try to keep my chapter at least at 1,000 words, as I am a relatively new writer. Constructive criticism is welcome, as are most types of reviews, this will be a Harry/Fleur story, Daphne will try pretty hard to get him as well. For some reason it will not let me enter more than 4 characters, but most characters from GoF should be present, as well as some more. Time for me sto stop my yammering, and let you enjoy the story.
Chapter 1
Summer at the Dursleys
Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, the chosen one, and a dozen other monikers that were not appreciated by the person who carried them, sat staring at the ceiling, thinking sorrowfully. If he had only remembered the full moon, Sirius would be free, and he would not be stuck in the smallest bedroom of Nr. 4 Privet drive. Harry would also likely be taught by the world's best pranksters how to out do even the Weasley Twins. Instead, he sat on his bed waiting for Aunt Petunia to come by and yell at him for not getting up at 5:30 to cook breakfast for her and her precious Dudders like the worthless servant he was supposed to be. As the clock on his night table approached seven, he decided to get on with it, as Uncle Vernon would wake up soon, and if breakfast wasn't done by then, the fields of punishment would seem like a child's playground. Sighing he went to cook breakfast. Hedwig hooted at him to remind him to bring some bacon for her to eat. He stroked her gently, and went downstairs.
Harry went up the stairs, holding his smarting shoulder. Dudley had tripped him while he set the table. Naturally, Harry still got the blame, and his shoulder took the brunt of the blow Vernon had tried to inflict upon him. Still, he smiled when he fed Hedwig the rasher he'd snuck away from the table. It was really luck no one had seen it, as he would probably have a broken rib as well. Then he noticed his visitor. By now, he considered a visitor in his bedroom to be a sign of impending danger, but this was an owl. Taking the scroll of parchment, and feeding the owl part of his meager breakfast, he read:
Dear Harry,
I know you are disappointed at having to stay with the Dursleys, so I've cooked up something for you. Enclosed is a communication-mirror, the Marauders used these all the time. There is also a package but first I want you to contact me using the mirror. Activate it by pressing the blue stone at the top. It will then vibrate letting me know you are calling.
Hope to see you soon,
Padfoot
Harry was in shock, He had been home for two days and he already had contact with the magical world. He read the message twice more to be sure, and opened the package and stared at the ornate mirror. He pressed the blue stone, and the mirror revealed Sirius in all his non-existent glory. Sirius grinned widely and said "Took you long enough, I'd begun to wonder if the owl had gotten lost."
"It did not get lost, I was cooking breakfast for my obese whale of a cousin, took a beating for being tripped by said whale, and then was in shock that I had a way to speak to my godfather. I believe this is the package you mentioned." Harry said while holding up the package he'd found on the owls back.
"It is, now you should find a catch on the front, press it with your wand, but make sure the surrounding area is clear."
Harry placed the small wooden box on the floor in the middle of the room, and tapped it with his wand. He immediately jumped back in surprise, as the box expanded. Soon it was a large chest of drawers, and Harry opened it. Sirius explained, "This is will change your life Harry."
Sirius went on to explain, "The top box holds several potions, that will make you a true Marauder. The brownish orange potion is the potion to make you an animagus. The ministry wishen to keep the existence of these potions to remain secret, as it would be much harder to control all the animagi otherwise. The three blue potions are going to boost you physically, take one a day right before you go to bed. You should start to exercise regularly to make the effects stick. You will also want to eat more. The three yellow potions are nutritional potions, and will help you handle the changes, to your body. Please ingest these at the same time as the others for maximum gain. The middle drawer contains spellbooks so you can train. You are going to need all the knowledge you can get to beat lord Moldyshorts. The third drawer includes subscriptions to several catalogs, as well as some magazines so you can easily get equipment."
"Thanks Sirius… I don't know what to say"
"Just promise me that you try to stay secluded, the changes you will experience will make your temper, and as such your magic to become unpredictable at first. We do not want a repeat of last summer do we?"
"No" Harry then heard Uncle Vernon yelling for him to come down. "My uncle is yelling at me for some reason, I will call you later, thanks for everything"
"No problem pup, if you have any problems with your fat arse of a cousin, you know how to reach me."
Harry finished the call, and went downstairs to find out what he'd done this time.
Harry didn't know whether to laugh or be terrified. Apparently Ron had called using a telephone, but didn't know how to use it, and had yelled at the top of his lungs through it. He had also mentioned being Harry's friend from school, which did not earn points with Vernon. Harry didn't want to know where Arthur Weasley had gotten ahold of a telephone. Now Vernon was ranting and raving about Freaks disturbing his peace and shouting, and Harry shouldn't have told them how to call them. Harry tuned out, but tried his best to look attentive, so as not to get into deeper trouble than he was already in. He sighed, it was going to be a long summer, although the gift from Sirius would certainly help.
